Buddy Valastro, star of Cake Boss and owner of Carlo's Bake Shop in Hoboken, is returning to Red Bank later this month.
Later this month, Hoboken's own Buddy “Cake Boss” Valastro returns to the scene of his first ever live performance, the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, for a leg of his Homemade for the Holidays Tour. The show is one of 21 in just 22 days, and the only one scheduled in New Jersey, which is still recovering from the destruction unleashed by Hurricane Sandy two weeks ago. Valastro, whose bakery Carlo's City Hall Bake Shop was closed but unharmed during Sandy, said he considers himself one of the lucky ones. Carlo’s lost power and was closed for a week but avoided any property damage due to the storm.

Here's what you missed on the season five finale of Cake Boss.
The season five finale of Cake Boss that aired Monday night was a sad one. As the episode opens we see Buddy's Mama back from Florida and in the bakery. She jokes with the customers. “I'm Buddy's mom, without me he wouldn't be here,” she says. But Mama is sick. She's been diagnosed with ALS. Buddy tries to explain to the camera but it's obvious this is very hard for him to talk about. “It's a horrible, horrible disease,” he says. There is no cure. ALS affects a person's ability to move, to do even the slightest tasks like feed themselves or tie their shoelaces. It's a creeping paralysis that doesn't happen in an instant, but over time. A person diagnosed with it sees their body breaking down little by little. They have to suffer the …

Here's what you missed Monday night on the latest new episode of Cake Boss.
As the first new episode of Cake Boss to premier Monday night opens, Buddy meets with three instructors from Skydive Jersey Shore. They want a cake to celebrate their colleague Joe's 40th anniversary of his first jump, which is also the 40th anniversary of when he lost his effing mind. But they don't want just any cake. They want one they can eat while they're free-falling from thousands of feet in the sky. “That's just another level of crazy,” Buddy says. Another level? These guys jump out of airplanes for fun – that's actually all the levels of crazy. The skydivers joke that Buddy should join them on the jump. He says he would but that his wife Lisa would object. Ah yes, the old "My Wife Would Object" excuse, the arch enemy to the "Honey…

Correction: First Lady makes appearance at Carlo's for segment on the Cake Boss....just like all his "wonderful" Sandy efforts (e.g. thanks for donating baked goods ONE day out of the week we were without power)...so much for the days of anonymous benefactors. more ›
